#6 Macaroni Cheese

As the chef, Laurent Loudeac states " who doesn't love macaroni cheese? It's simple and fast to make, delicious, cheap and a great filler for kids and teenagers". Perfect! With 3 of the family already fed with a midday lunch main from Grandad K, the missing teenager had been Imke, being courtside support at a Silver Ferns netball team play off against the English Rose national team. Great opportunity to see the best of the game up close and Imke ended up being the videographer for the English team.
With all of us back at home base later in the afternoon there was little time to devout to culinary masterpieces. So Mr. Loudeac's Macaroni cheese contribution to "The Great NZ Cookbook" seemed to fit the time constrained evening meal.
Laurent puts a "Frenchmans twist" to the dish by adding Ki korangi blue cheese, spinach, and ham. However, Pam's Colby cheese had to do and there was no ham handy. I did have baby spinach though with this green additive did have the advantage of making this look healthy.

It went down superbly well and had the extra advantage of having enough left over's for tomorrow's lunches. It was a winner at our house, unfortunately, it wasn't a winner game today for the NZ national netball team ... maybe a carb loading of macaroni the night before could have helped!

#2 The Pot - pork and puha

Image
A Sunday visit to the Hastings Farmer's Market lead me to this week's recipe from "The Great NZ cookbook". Daughter Imke, with her fellow students, were selling their "Colour Hawke's Bay" colouring books at the market as part of their young enterprise project. Farmers markets are great, and there is always that feel good factor of supporting local producers. With coffee in hand, Caroline (eldest daughter) and I perused the stalls. I avoided the temptation of buying a huge checker chopping board slab and turned to the grow your own "Wright Sprouts". Just tasting a sample made you feel healthy. I purchased the growing jar, and a selection of seeds to try. After downing a not so healthy Berliner Doughnut, passing the organic chocolate stand, we continued to the vegetable selection where I spotted bunches of puha. I knew that there was a recipe for this in THE book and having not ever cooked it before, I was excited to trying something new. Ann...

#5 Celebrating at Mister D - home of Moonshine Biff (Marshmallow)

Image
Napier hosts one of the star chefs from "The Great New Zealand Cookbook". You can find David Griffiths behind the kitchen bar in full swing at Mister D. There was a double occasion to celebrate, Jamie's birthday and Father's Day on the 3rd September and Mister D was well suited to dine at. The restaurant was humming and luckily we had booked in advance. Before the place completed filled up I took my chance to meet THE Mr Griffiths. He was very accommodating to spend a couple of minutes with me, meeting the family and posing for a photo. He was apologetic for his croaky voice, attributing to band practice - I could see a couple of guitars on the wall as a testament to his music affiliation. I explained I had made one of his recipes out of "The great NZ Cookbook"  - the moonshine biff. This is a wonderful marshmallow treat which can found on the restaurant menu. Mr Griffiths explained that this recipe had actually come from his father ( not noted in the cookb...

#13 Getting Wild with Mussel Fritters

Image
Numerous friends over the years had referred to it... but it was only this weekend where I had the opportunity to experience it myself... the Vigor Brown Street Wild Foods Festival. It is a backyard private party potluck dinner on a public scale. The host's challenge to guests, if you were game, was the requirement to bring a dish that was arguably wild... and one that you would be prepared to eat. Gladly taking up on the mission, I of course went and referenced the Great NZ Cookbook for inspiration. There was one stand out "Wild Food Salad" contributed by Peter Peeti - known for his "Kai time on the road" television series. The Wild Food Salad looked delicious, however, a key ingredient was piko piko, a fern shoot. With there being over 300 hundred varieties of fern shoots in NZ bush and some of them being carcinogenic, you really need to know the correct type to pick. Not having a ready safe source on hand, I had to abandon this dish but totally resolved to co...
